> You can more or less crank on them with as much strength as you can and they won't break or slip. This seems to be more or less a theme for knipex tools. I know I've put my full weight on a knipex combination plier before to

So one solution I've used in the past to get WFC unstuck from local maxima is to keep a counter for each tile location with how many times it has gotten stuck at that location. Whenever it gets stuck it'll reset all the tiles with

"district water system" almost definitely refers to the heating system when talking about dutch water systems. Tap water is --as far as I know-- handled on a municipal level, not a district level.

That first 20% of buffering is a lie. It'll manage to do that with no internet connection at all. Fair chance the hotel blocked netflix, or otherwise just doesn't have the bandwidth for streaming video.

Oh man this is leaving out so many shady details. Freenode was not and has never been a single entity, it's a collection of volunteer staff operating donated servers. Somehow under shady circumstances Freenode got sold to Andrew Lee.

If you think this will force politicians to keep their promises, as opposed to breaking them in broad daylight, you need to pay more attention to politics. UBI making shell games like that harder is a good thing if you ask me.

Go look up split rims exploding on youtube. It's violent and probably a good thing those fell out of fashion.

I can only imagine either the gas lever broke off, leaving him unable to stop the jet, or the jet itself had some sort of malfunction and decided to eject the pilot. Mind that these vertical takeoffs take a lot of computer control just to k

While a lot of practical jokes are, it's for sure possible to do practical jokes that I'd file under harmless fun. The tv program Just for laughs is --somewhat surprisingly-- really good at this. Excuse the awful laugh track and

What are you on about? It's trivial to get a Godot game to run on a bunch of platforms. In most cases it's just a matter of setting up the export template and hitting export.

There's still a difference between javascript and other languages with respect to dependencies. E.g. if I open a 5yr old python project there's a fair chance all the dependencies still exist and still work with a more recent pytho

At least with linux there's ways where you could fix that. I personally probably wouldn't as it's a hassle and my home folder is on a separate partition anyways, so a clean install doesn't lose me much. For those inter

Am I reading right that there's a direct interaction between magnetism and optical polarization? I know that light polarization is a pretty wacky topic to start with, but having magnets in the mix makes it seem unlikely amounts of wack

That's one of the special-cased things though. ChatGPT was deliberately taught it does not know the date, along with a few other things.

In my experience those corn bulbs aren't... amazing. Probably much better off getting a "regular" LED bulb, those get stupendously bright these days. 1000 lumen bulbs are easy enough to find, and a couple of those in a room g

Never mind that on linux you can largely just run updates in the background and not notice them happening. The only real annoyance I run into with background updates is that it'll make firefox want to restart. Still, much better than l

A guy I made a website for a looong time ago sold systems like that. The system he sold had some really neat tricks to avoid needing to be connected to a network and the like. The main entrance had the only networked badge system. What it

You can't just put something between quotes and pretend I said it. I agree there's some great brain interface related tech out there, and there's a bunch of awesome stuff being worked on. Musk being the shepherd of such a pro

I'm no fan of Elon at all, but at least most of his endeavors amount to something like "haha look at the funny rich man" at worst. Neuralink on the other hand is giving me proper existential dread. I can't decide what&#x

So one of the nice properties about the fediverse is that tumblr "flipping the switch" wouldn't really do much of anything. You'd either have to explicitly follow a tumblr account, or have someone you follow boost a tumb

Even better. The customers are paying for access to the internet. The services are paying for access to the internet. By some convoluted logic the users ISP wants the services ISP to pay them too. It's like paying to send text messages

Honestly just pick a medium sized instance with a theme that interests you. You're not expected to only post about that theme at all. The local timeline will be useful because it'll have a lot of people interested in -- though not

Flex filament is probably too flexy. The trouble with PLA is that it essentially starts forming cracks at zero force. If you keep PLA under load it's only a question of how long it takes before it breaks. E.g. making a coat hook from

Material used is rather important. PLA, which is probably the most common 3d printing material, is very prone to stress fractures. ABS on the other hand would probably do alright in this application.

USB-C has a mechanical detent. There's a metal spring in the male connector, and the center tab in the female connector has an indent on either side for that to snap into.

Surely the goal is to reduce deaths whenever possible, as opposed to keeping the rate stable. Workers not dying in traffic accidents good. Them also not dying on the job would be even better.

Which is exactly why various window managers on linux have "focus stealing prevention" settings. E.g. in compiz you can tell it how hard to prevent focus stealing. On the strictest setting applications simply cannot steal focus. O

> What I feel it's really missing is an official way to have multiple Python version installed. Install them into different directories. There's nothing about python that makes this at all hard or even tricky.
